Ikea Work Placement
For 2 weeks, between January 17th - January 28th 2022, I was fortunate enough to be able to gain work experience at IKEA Tottenham (London). Working with a member of the Communication and Interior Design team, I helped create installations promoting the new spring/summer collections. I followed the given trend boards given by head office to create displays which catch the customers attention and increase sales. I had an amazing experience working in a professional working environment and putting my visual merchandising skills to use as well as learning new skills.
